Hello,
I found some random keys are added to the registry while installing SDL Trados Studio 2017.
I'm not allowed to install this kind of program due to security policy.
Does anyone have the information about this issue?
Thanks,
Hiro

The steps to reproduce this issue.
1. Prepare install program(*1) and Windows system(*2).
2. Shutdown Windows system after applying all of Windows Update.
3. Take a snapshot (Snapshot1).
* I recommend to remove/disable network adapter before taking a snapshot.
4. Start Windows system.
5. Start Registry Editor and verify the keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER are normal.
6. Run install program.
7. Take a snapshot (Snapshot2) just before selecting "I accept..." checkbox.
8. Select "I accept the terms of the license agreement" checkbox and click "Next>".
9. After completing the installation, verify the keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
If this issue is reproduced, you'll see some random keys (e.g. aishwarya).
If this issue is not reproduced, back to Snapshot2 and repeat step 8-9.
Note: This issue is not 100% reproducable(*3).
If you get an error after step 8, back to Snapshot1 and repeat step 4-6 & 8-9.
(*1) SDLTradosStudio2017_5746.exe, from SDL website.

(*2) I used three newly created virtual machines for this test:
SYS1 - Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x86;
SYS2 - Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64;
SYS3 - Windows 10 Pro x64.
(*3) 22%(11/50) on SYS1; 24%(6/25) on SYS2; 30%(6/20) on SYS3 in my test.
